Yeah, it's all a matter of taste. Some people love chrome (as on the door handles of the new 350Z), some people hate it. One guy here in town was third-string QB for the Browns last few seasons, he bought himself an Escalade with HUGE chrome rims with his minimum-league salary (500K a year?)...
Even those I find a bit tacky.

Hard to say, though, since I love my steering wheel cover lol!
